... What is RSS?Things are getting a little tense around here. I have been working more and more, getting less done around the house, spending less time with my family and for what? Well for something that I love doing. We all know how important it is to take time for yourself. But let’s face it – that time I have been taking for me – it is at the price of my family. It has finally sunk in – and I don’t want to make that sacrifice anymore.
I am NOT giving up our business at all. I love it way too much! But I am working on balancing my time better. This is making me and my family a lot happier.
Sunday I was working away. Things were pulling at me: my computer, ideas, phone calls etc. During all of this my husband and my son left to go to ski lessons. I had the afternoon…not to myself but with my 4 year old daughter.
I still had a lot I needed to get done – but I really wanted to enjoy time with her. The two of us worked well together taking turns, playing games etc. This was fun. But then the big guns came out! We were chasing each other around just being as silly as we could.
Granted – this silliness only lasted for 15 minutes or so – but it was great fun and really got out all of my tension. It also led us to have more fun together – just doing basic things. Things like folding the clothes.
Who knew that being silly and acting like a 4 year old could make my whole day? Everyone should try it!
